Well he worked at Sclumberger. I have worked there. the basic salary for graduate Engineers is about N500,000 and for every offshore job you for, you get paid a job bonus which is arounf 5-10 percent of the job. Each engineer go for around 4-10 jobs a month or more…imagine an engineer makes as little as N200,000 for each job as a bonus and goes for 10 jobs, do the maths. A basic shop floor worker with a basic salary of 85k monthly earns around a million naira per month due to job bonues. Some get N5000 daily. So it is not debatable when you work in an oil company. ‘Why do you think they call it “oyel money or blood money”, lol.

I know Eazi lies but $6000 a month for an oil company in Nigeria as an engineer is VERY believable. Trust me, 3 members of my family worked in various oil companies. Depending on the company you work, you even get more + bonuses. Do your homework.

@Douglas Mr oyel money!! How is it that you go offshore 4-10 times?! Do you fly everyday offshore? which is not possible oh not matter what you’re going to do there oh! or do you go offshore and stay for a month which is also not possible in the oil and gas industry the maximum you can stay offshore is 2 weeks! then 1 or 2 weeks out which means you either fly back towards the end of the month making it 2 times in a month or you go back the next month! Just saying though…..

You can go offshore 2ce a month if you have 14/14 or if you have 14/7. Actually helicopters fly offshore almost everyday. (Speaking from experience) I’m an engineer and I make 5500 before taxes. Day rate runs from 150-550 depending on experience . So if your base is 5500 and then you go offshore or a land job for 14 days that’s an extra 14×150. As an intern I’m not a 100% sure but as a field engineer . You can easily make 90,000 /year before taxes. Like the oil money guy said you can go offshore 24 times a yea year if you’ve got 14 days on and 14 off. It’s oil and gas . No big deal . Lol We should all learn to educate ourselves . If you aren’t sure . Google it. Had friends in college who made more during internships because it often included perks like relocation and per diem. They were at 6-7$k a month. But this wasn’t SLB or HLB it was stat oil and bp

Dear Amy, please educate yourself if you don’t know. There is no rule that says you can’t stay beyond two weeks offshore. Most IOCs operate 2-week rotations but for servicing coys, u can stay as long as a month or more, so yes, it is possible. You fly in and out as required for your job. How do I know? natheworkweywedeydo
